GAC International Philippines, Inc. successfully held the
2026 GAC Philippines Dealer Conference on February 27, bringing together its dealer network from across the
country under the theme “Building Success Together as ONE GAC.”
The conference marked the first dealer gathering organized under
GAC’s direct, self-operated presence in the Philippines, following the
establishment of GAC International Philippines, Inc. as the brand’s wholly
owned local subsidiary. Now managed directly by GAC headquarters, the company
is positioned to provide faster parts availability, more efficient aftersales
support, and closer coordination across its nationwide dealer network,
reinforcing customer confidence during this new phase of operations.
The event served as a key platform to align dealers on GAC
Philippines’ strategic
direction, anchored by the ONE GAC brand philosophy of One Brand, One Channel,
and One Service, which aims to deliver consistent standards across sales,
service, and customer experience.
Dealer principals and representatives from Metro Manila, North Luzon, South Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao took part in a dealer agreement signing ceremony during the conference. The nationwide participation underscored the strength and breadth of GAC’s dealer network and stands as a clear testament to market stability and long-term confidence in GAC’s direction, structure, and investments in the Philippine market.

“The
change to self-operation shows our strong confidence in the local market. It
also means we will invest more resources, strengthen the local team, and fully
support all partners for win-win growth,” said Steven Wang, Senior Vice
President of GAC International.
In addition to strategic discussions, GAC Philippines gave dealers
an exclusive preview of its expanding product portfolio, highlighting the lineup that will soon be available across showrooms. The
brand’s 2026 lineup reflects a more versatile and customer-focused approach to
mobility. These include the GS8 HEV, AION UT, HYPTEC
HT, AION V, AION Y Plus, E8, and GN8 PHEV, spanning internal combustion,
hybrid, and full electric mobility solutions.
As part of its product roadmap, GAC Philippines also emphasized
its push to build strong market awareness for the GS8 HEV, including the
upcoming GS8 HEV Limited Edition, which the company is positioning as a new
benchmark in hybrid luxury.
GS8 HEV: Redefining Premium Mobility
The GS8 HEV premium crossover SUV retains its commanding and
refined design, now paired with the Mega Wave THS hybrid system, delivering
improved fuel efficiency without compromising performance. A sophisticated
seven-seater, the GS8 HEV features a 2.0T hybrid powertrain engineered for
smooth power delivery, with a maximum output of 40 kW and 121 Nm of torque.
The GS8 HEV is expected to be available to accept orders in the
